Looks Angelina Jolie isn't so popular after all!
During a satellite interview with CNN's Sanjay Gupta on Wednesday, the 35-year-old mom of six revealed that life can get pretty lonely when her role as the UN's Goodwill Ambassador forces them to be apart.

How does she cope?
"I'll talk to my family," the actress -- who is currently in Pakistan -- said. "I talk to Brad [Pitt]; he wants to know as much as he can about these issues and every trip. He's been here as well; he came with me after the earthquake. But I don't know, I don't have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to."

Jolie arrived in Pakistan earlier this week to meet with victims of a recent flood. To date, the natural disaster has reportedly affected 17 million people and left 1,700 people dead.
And though she misses her family, Jolie says her children understand why she must leave them behind to fully engage in the relief efforts.

"I tell my children why I'm going and I explain to them why I was packing flashlights and food. They help me pack some things," she says. "My children are from a lot of these countries, so I want them to understand what's happening in Africa, the boys to understand what's happening if there's something current in their countries, and for all of them to know about each other's countries as well."
















Tell Us What You Think
48She is popular and she don't need a lot of friends. With her busy schedules. That's normal, If you listen good to their discussion you knew what they meant..and not make issue about word friends..who ever publish in there tabs headline have low IQ. Again making story to sell. Angelina can discuss her work with Brad, because they have the same passion of charitable work. They never solicit to friends with their cause, it's up to them to open their wallet. She use media for help and support. She deals with high rank officials to work with their problem and urge them to find solution. As Ambassador for UNCHR,she is fearless,daring, peacemaker between refugees and the govt that welcome them. I admire her for her sacrifices, traveling and being on front. Despite the danger she is facing with rebels or criminals. This is the reason why the whole world love her. A believer of God words, "Love thy neighbor" whoever you are, what ever your faith. Wise for them to ignore the tabs headlines of lies, gossip,and exaggerated stories. They drive people nuts, better to listen to the truth, than hersey. Brad Love her, no doubt about it. So stop bugging and wasting your time. If she have millions of fans all over the world, and love her, there all be consider as her friends. She can trust them. We also support her cause,even a dollar each fallower will produce millions to help the needy. All we need is unity.. We know how generous this couple are, that was proven by few friends in the television, UNHCR, relatives and stranger that recieve cash from them in secret. If you star can do what she is doing now, then publish their works. Rather than fallowing AJ and BP, and wrote negative things about them. Will wait for them to marry, give them more time,the door is open for them to decide. Have Adam and Eve have a contract? I don't think so, GOD choose Eve for Adam, same thing with Brad if someone out there choose AJ to be his partner, so be it. If not, then time will tell.
hey all ignore pfc boyd. she has no friends except kate gosselin. so she attacks angelina. always has. i don't aee how she defends queen kate over jolie. you say angie needs to let us know about the people she helps. when is khate gonna help anyone?
I would imagine it would be hard to trust anyone, anyone could sell you out if you had the kind of money and fame that A. Jolie has. I think she has done a lot of good for others and she should be commended for that. As far as Brad, Jennifer and Angie I think it is time to move on and let that whole story go, Brad is enjoying his life and so is Jennifer; I don't think Jen and Brad would have made it much longer anyway, no matter if Angie came along or not.
what's so sad is that since she's an "actor", she's not "allowed" to communicate with "normal" or "non-actor" people. Angelina would probably benefit greatly from having some friends outside the world of "acting"....
Love is love and when it shows up at my door, I dont turn it away. I would be happy to be Angie's friend; I'm not afraid of her with my man. And I think its great that she is trying to help the world. If I had money and time I would hope that I would do the same thing.
i love her!! :)
I am like that too. Although I have quite a lot of acquaintances I usually kick around with my family! I enjoy going out but, unlike some people who can't seem to stay home, I really enjoy myself more with my family! Brangelina were true friends first which is an awesome basis of a foundation to have as a BFF! Btw! you kicked it on SALT! Girl, now I am waiting on the sequel! Keep your head up!!
A man can't be "stolen" unless he wants to be. And, really, the only people that can be stolen are the ones who don't have a choice in the matter. Give it a break, people.
of course you don't have friends- especailly girlfriends- they couldn't trust you with their man- you have stolen numerous husbands,boyfriends and fiance's over the years- i know you are hot but where are your morals- remember if they cheated on their spouses they will eventually cheat on you too
they took my comment off..
means...
Women cannot trust someone who has shown to have no respect for the relationships of other women. Dating men who are either married or engaged pretty much meand hands off.. Pretty much all I know about her is what I have heard her say on camera.. I have never been a fan and never will be but that's my right, and it doesn't make me a hater. I believe if an actor chooses to make their living off the hard work of others than they become public property (like politicians), which opens them up to public scrutiny. They are after all counting on the public to pay them to entertain us.
Love her, admire her work. No one knows her private life. The tabloids just want to sell. Most of it is lies. Good for her. She didn't steal Brad, they were already split. Jen is the kiss of death in relationships, look at her track record. She may be nice but she can't keep a man interested. Leave the Jolie-Pitts alone. They have been together longer than Brad and Jen and have a family! They give away a huge percentage of their income to make this a better world. Any of you haters doing anything to make a difference? i think not.
oh MISS ANGELINA you're so gorgeous and perfect!! all these dumb broads who "think" they know you or your life, have NO IDEA what their talking about, why don't YA take care of YOUR men and children and let angie take care of her own family the way SHE wants to. leslie you sound like you have so much time in your hands, use that time and hit the gym! what have YOU done for anybody?? you say angelina doesn't do anything for the places she visits, but YOU are talking about it, so i guess she IS doing something for those places. like bringing attention to them??!!? hmmm?? could it be?? she never said she's going there to solve the problems, but at least she goes there and people know about it and many people(of course not you and all her haters) do for those places. you say she wants attention?? she gets ALL the attention in the world without doing a damn thing. she is ANGELINA JOLIE. wether you like her or not, she's one of the most famoust women in the world. lol!! you don't know jack sh!t about angelina. and that other dumb b!tch fawn! what kinda ridiculous fugly name is that??!!! i would slap the sh!t out of your mom for giving you that disgusting name! show us the records of where YOU say angie sleeps with everyone's husbands and boyfriends??? show us??!!! c'mon. stop talking out of your hating azzes!!! and do something productive with your time!! im out and i will NEVER visit this loser mag site. all of you are a bunch of f#cking morons!
Please explain to me how the JP's honest words and replies are always taken OUT OF CONTEXT and twisted as if their lives depended on it for the JP's to utter a word ...and these ding dongs are all ready to put a NEGATIVE spin within seconds..and suddenly their lies catches on and before you know it this is what is being posted at lightning speed on the net...Title being (completely out of context) "Angelina does not have any friend" OK..let's put this in context... http://.marieclaire.co.uk/news/celebrity/498957/i-have-no-friends-says-angelina-jolie.html Here is the verbatim convo with Dr. Gupta and Angelina.... Sanjay Gupta asked Angie after she makes her humanitarian visits does she share what she has seen with friends .... The Q was whether she discussed her recent trips to disaster hit areas...Her response to Dr. Gupta was... "I'll talk to my family. I talk to Brad; he wants to know as much as he can about these issues and every trip,' she said" when asked about coping with the pressures of her job. Now notice..the Marie Claire claims the Q was "how do you deal with pressure" The actual Q was "who do you share what you saw...friends/family" Her response in no way, shape or form said she does NOT have friends Her response was saying there aren't that many of her friends she'd feel comfortable talking about her recent humanitarian visit...This response is NOT saying she does not have friends..all she said was, she discusses her trip with Brad b/c he wants to know what is really going on and he is a humanitarian like Angie plus he also had visited the country with Angie... Maybe I am missing something BUT how in the heck sharing her unhcr work details mostly with Brad turned in to "she doesn't have friends" ********************************** The above is for all you haters and ido*ts who write for USmagazine and all you freaks out there who don't have a life and feel the need to attack Angie and Brad inorder to releave your sorry life stressors.
It seems she's just careful who she chooses as friends, there's nothing wrong with that. it's hard to trust people especially females, not all, but there are some b¡tchy, backstabbing,judgmental,and drama filled ones out there. Guys are easier to be friends with they tell it like it is and hardly bring drama. I agree get over the whole Brad, Angelina, Jennifer crap it's old. obviously he wasn't in love anymore he did the right thing by divorcing J.A. they're all living their lives move on with yours....sheesh
Fawn you are right B.B.T WAS married and the guy before him was engaged, the girl she dated was also in a relationship when they got together. She also slept with her mother's fiance when she was 16 (came outta her own mouth). She has gone ON THE RECORD to say that Fidelity is OVERRATED which is basically saying that she is/will cheat on Brad (I'd bet with a woman). MOST of those things are in her PAST though (aside from saying fidelity was overrated (That was said early this year)) AND we really can't judge her by things she did many years ago BUT what annoys me is she is called a SAINT when in REALITY she does VERY LITTLE for any of the countries she visits and claims to care for! Angie only walks THROUGH these disaster ares, she does not actually DO anything to help them. She takes her pictures and than sells them to the highest bidder so that these mags get them and she gets the publicity and called a "SAINT" from these photo-ops. The ONLY money she donates comes from the savings account they started when they SOLD PICTURES OF THEIR BABIES AT BIRTH to.... you guessed it the HIGHEST BIDDER and set up the Savings account just for the purpose to use that money to "donate" to disaster relief and charity. They RARELY have ever used their own EARNED money from work to donate it ALL comes from that account. She has been heard on the record saying she HATES NOLA and wishes Brad would sell the home there. That is WHY she RARELY ever goes with him when he is there visiting and seeing how rebuilding is going. She RARELY does ANYTHING for the U.S.A, she hates the country that made her rich. She could help out the MANY people living HERE in tent cities b/c of loss of jobs, or help out the countless number of homeless, or even DONATE to a Charity HERE IN THE U.S.A but she don't! She solely cares for the other countries. She called her own daughter a BLOB and said that she has more of a bond with her 3 adopted children than any of her own b/c she felt that THEY REALLY NEEDED HER unlike her children b/c HER OWN kids were born to privilege! This "woman" is NOT a saint and people need to open their eyes! YES she IS a GREAT ACTION ACTRESS, she proves that she is a GREAT actress every time she does these photo-ops in other countries, every time she does an interview and talks about her "perfect" life! YES SHE IS ACTING PEOPLE that IS what she does best after all! I would have so much respect for her (maybe even like her and watch her films) IF she took a few years, say 3 yrs off work to concentrate SOLELY on her children, Brad AND her job as an Ambassador! STAYED OUT of the public eye, stopped promoting, starring in movies, stop going to premieres, STAY IN 1 HOME FOR AT LEAST 1 YEAR thus allowing the kids to actually GO TO SCHOOL AND BE IN SPORTS (like kids ENJOY doing), and IF she actually donated some of HER earned money to REALLY help out these people instead of merely taking a WALK THROUGH a badly damaged area and taking a picture to beg US STRUGGLING HARD WORKING PEOPLE to give money to help when MOST here can barely afford to feed their own families during these hard economic times! She could donate 1 million, heck even $100,000 grand to a country and just that 1 hundred grand would give these people a home, food, clothes, etc... Shoot she could probably completely REBUILD an entire country with the money she would get just from selling 1 of her MANY multi-million dollar homes (not that she should just saying she could). If she really concentrated on her job as an Ambassador, mother (GET RID OF NANNY'S AND BE A HANDS ON MOTHER for once),and partner than she could do SO MUCH more for people and many MANY would have renewed respect for her! She could make a comeback movie in 3-4 years with a horrible plot but b/c it has HER in it that movie would top the charts as a comeback film! MANY MANY more would like her if she gave her children STABILIZATION in 1 place, allowed them to go to SCHOOL with OTHER KIDS (instead of home-school with tutors), allowed them to play sports and have a NORMAL (well semi-normal) life and if she was an actual HANDS ON MOTHER! I sure would respect her if she did and kept her KIDS out of these rag mags! Before you people say that it is IMPOSSIBLE to do that I'm going to say IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE b/c if it were MANY a-list stars would not be able to do it (just like Johnny Depp does as an example). She could do so much more for people IF she really wanted to but instead it is ALL about ATTENTION! She has the ability to do so much good and to REALLY be able to interact with the people she is helping and learn about their daily lives. I do agree with her on 1 thing though and that is about the IGNORANT fool claiming to be a preacher that plans to burn the Quran tomorrow... Man THAT "guy" really needs locked away so he CAN'T burn it and his wanna be "church" of IGNORANT followers also needs locked up! What this creep is planning could danger SO many lives!!!
She did not break up Brad and Jennifer it was over before they meet. Get over it people it's been over 5 years.
I'm always wary of people who don't have friends. I'm a loner and have quite a bit of friends so that argument isn't going to fly here. There's something up with her and I think Brad should beware.
It's not only the Brad & Jen thing, Laquia. She has a record of sleeping with other's husbands. She got with Billy Bob while he married and I believe it was said that the woman she got with also had a partner at the time.
